Abstract

Internal hernias are rare causes of small bowel obstruction, and one such internal hernia is the paracecal hernia. We report a case of a small bowel obstruction related to a paracecal hernia in which a preoperative diagnosis was made on computed tomography. A laparotomy was performed for definitive diagnosis and treatment. The surgery achieved a good outcome.
